The TCL 5 series is our top pick for the best budget QLED TV. When it comes to value, you simply won’t find a better deal. Right now, this Editor’s Choice TV is on sale for $399. In our TCL 5 Series Roku TV Review, we said this TV delivers a solid quantum dot 4K picture at an affordable price. We also like that it has full-array active local dimming, so you can dim the backlight in one area of the screen while boosting another brighter area. In fact, it earned our Highly Recommended rating on the Tom’s Guide Award 2021 for Budget TVs.
Looking for an affordable 50-inch QLED TV? Amazon has the Hisense U6 series on sale for just $429, making it one of the best deals right now. In addition to having a quantum dot filter, this TV uses a full-array panel, supports normal HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR formats, and comes with Amazon’s Fire TV smart platform built-in. If you don’t want the Fire TV platform, Best Buy has the 50-inch Hisense U6H 4K Google TV on sale for $339 (opens in a new tab).
It’s a modest $50 off, but the TCL 5 series is our favorite QLED TV when it comes to value. In our TCL 5 series review, we said that it offers impressive performance and a wide variety of functions. These include Dolby Vision/HLG/HDR10/HDR10 Plus support, Alexa-compatible voice remote control, auto game mode, and Google TV.
Best Buy also has the 50-inch model on sale for $399 (opens in a new tab) ($30 off), while the The 55-inch model is on sale for $419 (opens in a new tab) ($10 discount). As a side note, the 55-inch model was on sale for $199(!!!) last weekend, but I really don’t think we’ll see that price again this year.
If you want a premium OLED experience, the LG G2 is the best oled tv you can buy. In our LG G2 OLED reviewWe gave this impressive TV 4.5 out of 5 stars and said, “This is also the first OLED TV that’s bright enough to recommend it to people who will find themselves watching in a naturally lit room during the day.” Therefore, you will get the best image quality for any sports match, even during the day. Perfect for World Cup fans watching that day’s games.
One of the most epic TV deals of the past week is back in stock. Woot has the Samsung Frame 2022 line of 4K TVs available to buy starting at $429. QLED TVs feature an art mode that displays your favorite artwork, shows, movies and more. They also feature HLG/HDR10 Plus support, Google Assistant/Alexa built-in, auto game mode, and Samsung’s Tizen operating system.
All sizes are currently on sale: the 32-inch is $429 (was $597); the 43-inch is $749 (was $997); 50-inch is $869 (was $1,299); 55-inch is $1099 (was $1499); 65-inch is $1489 (was $1999); 75-inch is $2,099 (was $2,999); and the 85-incher is $2,997 (was $4,297).
The reason I call this an epic deal is because if you look Samsung Direct Pricing (opens in a new tab)they are up to $900 higher and nowhere near Woot promotions!
If you want a TV deal that hits the sweet spot in terms of price and size, the Amazon Fire TV Series 4 is a good place to start. This 55-inch set delivers a sharp 4K picture with support for HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus.
The Fire TV 4 series makes it easy to launch your favorite streaming services and get an Alexa voice remote to find apps, movies, and shows. You also get 3 HDMI ports along with HDMI eARC support. the The 55-inch model is on sale for $329 (opens in a new tab) (was $519), but we’re looking at estimated shipping dates of 3-6 months.
The OLED TV that broke all price records is back in stock! Right now, Best Buy has the LG A2 65-inch 4K OLED TV on sale for $1,299. That’s $300 off and one of the cheapest 65-inch OLEDs we’ve ever seen. The 48-inch model is also in stock, but is no longer for sale. This latest model sold for $569 just a few days ago, but the 48-inch model is now available for $1,299 (opens in a new tab), which obviously makes the 65-inch model the way to go. This deal was so amazing that we bought the 48-inch model to try it out.
In our LG A2 OLED review, we said it offered excellent image quality, wide viewing angles and perfect blacks. That being said, there are some drawbacks (for gamers). While a low latency mode is welcome, the 60Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.0 ports instead of the newer HDMI 2.1 aren’t ideal. However, those who don’t like gaming (and casual gamers) shouldn’t worry.
